Speedy deletion nomination of Rabbit Message


A tag has been placed on Rabbit Message, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 05:06, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline.

In response to your message at User talk:Roscelese
The article you created Rabbit Message says that the sources were published by a company called RedRabbitIdeas. Your username is identical to the twitter handle for Red Rabbit Studios, the owners of Rabbit Message. The only logical conclusion is that your username reflects that of the company, either because it is your company, or you are an employee of it, or you should be an employee due to the fanatical brand loyalty. Regardless, it's the same result: you should avoid writing or editing any articles relating to that company.

As for standards: All articles require multiple professionally published, mainstream academic or journalistic sources that are independent of the subject. No such sources = no article. Also, articles should not be edited by, much less written by, employees or other individuals with a conflict of interest.

You have a chance to change your username and work on other subjects, but Wikipedia is not a means of promotion (which is why require multiple reliable sources independent of the subject to establish notability). Ian.thomson (talk) 06:08, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
